HETEROCYCLIC DERIVATIVES OF DIPHENYL AS MODULATORS OF POTASSIUM CANICULI

摘要

Novel compounds of Formula 1 are useful to treat disorders responsive to openers of the large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels: wherein "Het" is one of a select group of heterocyclic moieties; Z is independently for each occurrence selected from O or S; Ra, Rb and Rc each are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, OH, CF3, NO2, or provided Rc is not hydrogen; and when Ra and Rb are hydrogen, Rc may be a heterocyclic moiety selected from the group consisting of imidazol-1-yl, morpholinomethyl, N-methylimidazol-2-yl, and pyridin-2-yl; Rd and Re each are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, CF3, NO2 or imidazol-1-yl; m, n and p each are independently selected from an integer of O or 1; and Rf and Rg each are independently hydrogen; C1-4 alkyl; or Rf and Rg, taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, is a heterocyclic moiety selected from the group consisting of N-methylpiperazine, morpholine, thiomorpholine, N-benzylpiperazine and imidazolinone.
